The International Association of
Registered Financial Consultants(IARFC) announces a new Issue of the
Journal of Personal Finance (Volume 13, Issue 1, 2014). For the past 13 years, the Association has
published articles containing techniques, strategies and research for
consumers, educators and professional financial consultants.

The Journal
(JPF) contains both normative and empirical research on topics including
household portfolio choice, retirement planning and income distribution, individual
financial decision making, household risk management, life cycle consumption
and asset allocation, investment research relevant to individual portfolios,
household credit use, professional financial advice and its regulation,
behavioral factors related to financial decisions, financial education and
literacy, and other topics that are of interest to scholars and practitioners
in the field of personal finance.

The IARFC encourages
practicing readers to give copies of the JPF
to their associates from the fields of law and tax accounting from whom one
referral can bring great rewards for the time spent. “Reading the JPF is a far more taxing exercise for the practitioner whose time
is pressed,” comments IARFC Chairman
and CEO Ed Morrow, “but it is essential to the continuing education
responsibility.”

This issue represents the
final edition from departing editor Michael S. Finke, Texas Tech
University. “One of the most interesting subjects in personal finance is how
individual investors deal with a loss,” says Finke. “This issue contains two groundbreaking
articles that provide new insight into how investors respond to volatility in
investment accounts and how best to present risky investment choices.”

The IARFC is appreciative of
Michael Finke’s dedication to the IARFC and his involvement in publication of
the JPF for the past three years. New editors are Wade Pfau, National Graduate
Institute for Policy Studies and Joe Tomlinson, Tomlinson Financial Planning. “I am grateful to new editors for agreeing to
chart the JPF’s course in the future,” says Finke. “I also look forward to the innovative research
being published in the JPF later in
2014 under their guidance.”

The JPF encourages submission
of manuscripts in topics related to household financial decision making. More information regarding the Journal of Personal Finance can be found
